I've been reading and learning about smart lipo - it's where they make a small incision and very much like your typical lipo, they remove the fat. Here's the difference - it's done in the office (of course you are numbed up and pretty loopy! ) But instead of just sucking out the fat, they use a pulsating laser to burn up the fat and than suck it out. I know that there is all kinds of stuff I could have done on my body, but I look pretty great in clothes, wiht the exception of my saddle bags (doc calls them cones). So, for $2600 I can have them sculpted and shaped!

If you know anything about the procedure, I'd like your input. If you don't, google it and look at the before and after pics.....just amazing!

I had it done to my arms. It got rid of probably 85% of my "batwings".

They are so sculptured now I look like I have worked out. I plan on having it done to my thighs also.

I has mine done 11/18 & I'm pleased with the results. He took 31/2 lbs total, but I've had to lose why more weight than you! I'm 5'8" & was 290. I'm now 175 & slowly working my way to 160. Also at age 51 (yikes!) my skin will not bounce back. My outer thighs look great in clothes, but I'm saving for a thigh lift (maybe!). That is neither an easy surgery or a quick recover & does leave big scars! So, I'm still thinking the whole thing over.

I am just curious about this whole process too....it sucks away the fat but the skin is still there. I have "batwings" as well. Will the smart lipo get rid of the skin too???

In my case the arm surgery will not help. You are still young and it might help. My doc daid he could remove the fat pocket, but that would leave the skin & only surgery will fix that AND leave a scar. You should really read up on it & than have a consultation with a good PS that does the laser lipo.

Smart Lipo (abs) worked pretty well for me, but it was more painful than I thought or expected. I did it during Thanksgiving break and was miserable. I will probably get my love handles/back fat done either in March or July, when and if my funds permit of course. Don't take the recovery (pain) lightly.

Everyones pain tolerance is different. I didn't find mine to be too bad. I went grocery shopping the next day & cooked thanksgiving dinner. It did hurt when I first stood up or sat down, but other than that - I was good to go.

This is interesting! I'll have to read up on it.

I had both smart lipo and vaser lipo of my abs during Thanksgiving. I had a TT in June, so maybe it hurt because I'm still healing and it was already tender.

I am so pleased with my arms - now saving for the thighs......
